It does not have the flowing lines that are possible from a lathe but it’s much easier to make. The project is made by cutting concentric rings from 3/4” stock and reverse stacking. The saw table is set to 20 degrees which makes the rings line up correctly. This vase is made from poplar. I’m going to cut one from walnut next.

I just watched your video and had a thought… but perhaps you or other LJs have thought about it or even already done it… It seems that one could mimick a segmented bowl using this technique too. Once you cut the rings, if you then quartered them, reglued them in a different order into a ring again, then purposefully mismatch the vertical glue lines between each ring (row), I think it would appear very similar to a turned segmented bowl.
